CoinGecko to run for TomoChain Masternode Candidacy

We are proud to announce that CoinGecko is setting up our first masternode with TomoChain. This marks our first step in the world of block validation.

We have been keeping a close tab on the growth of masternodes and made a special segment with Masternodes.online in our Q3 report. With the help of the TomoChain team, we are looking forward to learning more on how these different forms of governance operate on the blockchain.

Currently, we are already running a masternode on TomoChain’s testnet and will be ready to begin validating blocks as soon as TomoChain’s Mainnet launches on 14 December 2018.

Why TomoChain?

TomoChain’s aim is to be a leading force in building the Internet of Value. The team aims to create an alternative, scalable financial system which is more secure, transparent, efficient, inclusive and equitable for everyone. TomoChain features a 150-Masternodes architecture with Proof of Stake Voting (PoSV) consensus for near-zero fee and instant transaction confirmation.

TomoChain’s masternode has a built-in mechanism for stakers to share in the masternodes reward. For the first 2 years after Mainnet launches, 250 TOMO will be shared in each epoch between the 150 masternodes. Block time on TomoChain is 2 seconds and each epoch consists of 900 blocks, therefore each epoch on TomoChain lasts for 30 minutes.

The 250 TOMO will be divided proportionally among the 150 Masternodes based on the number of signatures they sign during the epoch. Assuming all 150 Masternodes stay active and online during the epoch, this means that each fully active Masternode will earn 1.667 TOMO per epoch.

The masternode reward will get divided as follow:

10% Foundation Reward given to the Masternode Foundation (currently run by TomoChain)

40% Infrastructure Rewards given to the Masternode Operator

50% Staking Reward given to Masternode voters, shared proportionally based on token stakes

Vote for CoinGecko MasterNode

If you are a TOMO token holder, do ensure you are prepared for Tomochain’s Mainnet swap. You may find more information in this post. After the Mainnet launches, holders of TOMO will be eligible to stake their tokens with Masternodes Candidates to earn a share of the Masternode’s reward.

We hope that with the launch of CoinGecko’s Masternode on Tomochain, our fans can support us by giving us a vote of approval and join us in starting our first ever Masternode. If you haven’t owned any TOMO but would like to support CoinGecko and consequently earn a share in the Masternode’s reward, you can still easily purchase some TOMO right from CoinGecko.com itself.
